He tells all kinds of horror stories about Rita and thinks it was worse than Katrina based on what he saw.
Had it not been for the pump
failures in NOLA, Katrina would have been an afterthought. Katrina wrecked the MS gulf coast as Rita wrecked W LA and SE Texas. This did not jibe with the get Bush media push so nationally it was seriously underreported.

I watched Blackhawks and Chinooks dropping huge sandbags for hours, orbiting out over the lake in a continuous circle, probably ten choppers total, picking them up on the Jefferson parish side, Chinooks dropping three at a time in the break in the 17th street canal levee and the lake pouring in just wash them away in seconds, it was about effective as a flea biting an elephant on the arse. And that was just one of the levee breaks. No pumps in the world were going to handle that.
